So I got this DCWV stack at Joanne’s on sale….Love the paper. This snowman was at the bottom of a 12x12 sheet that was supposed to be for a LO from the looks of it. What caught my eye was all the faux stitching. So I cut it out and made holes between all the lines to make it look real. Then I though it needed more dimension…so I cut up the snowman on the next page and put his hat, scarf, and heart on this one with some foam tape. The I added some bling and glitter with a Sakura pen. After that I added it to some White Daisy and I think Crystal blue cardstock and did some more faux stitching around the edge. Some snowflakes and buttons and MS branch punch later, I was done. I left this card without a sentiment as it was already wayyyyy busy for me. Don’t know whether I like it or not at the moment. But I am sure you will tell me what you think!

My Supplies are listed above :-) and NO STAMPING hee hee.

Well it is my DS’s birthday tomorrow and we made cupcakes this afternoon…My kids all opt to make their own cakes over having one bought. (saves me a bundle). Dan wanted green food coloring added to the cake batter and blue and green icing….made for some fun colors. There was a bit of a sugar rush after the leftover frosting was licked lovingly from the bowl . Sadly it seems that the postal strike that was going on in the UK has delayed his birthday cards from my family….so he only has the one that I made him and his sister made him. Also his Dad can’t be here for his birthday as he is in LA until Friday with the new job. I am not complaining though….we are so blessed he HAS a job. BUT being homeschooled he has requested a day off from school!!!! Now that I can give him yeah!

OH and my blog title totally reminded me of Monty Python …I used to love some of their stuff…especially the Dead Parrot sketch and the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch. You can see loads of these on You Tube.

Love the card. It is so neat. Quality work which is definitely YOU. You are so good with the faux stitching. Tell your son that your blogging buddies wish him a wonderful birthday and have fun playing hookie from school.

Happy Birthday! those cupcakes look so very yummy! OMG, this card is FAB....I'm squealing while looking at it! I love how it looks as those the cold winter winds just blew up that adorable snowman! LOVE it!!!!! Hey head over to Practical Scrappers and say I sent you for a change to win some fabby Glitz Designs candy on Nov. 27.Blessings,Kim xXx

So glad to have my Sarah "fix"! I've been away from blogland for a little bit, but have missed lots here! Love your last few projects and love how you used some "scrapbook" paper and turned it into a card. I often have trouble with that for some reason. The stitches look so real after you added the holes. Nice job!

I came here for an argument...er, I mean to see a gorgeous card. Love it! BTW, I also love your Bigsby card. Great idea to make it look like a present. You are just so darn creative...I envy how your mind works.
